Years ago I photographed Norfolk Southern’s executive F-units leading the company office car train on various occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Saturday, Kris and I intercepted these famous streamliners working Reading & Northern’s Fall Foliage Excursion on its return run from Jim Thorpe to North Reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a gorgeous clear afternoon and the autumn leaves were beginning to pop. We investigated a variety of places to make photos and ultimately settled on Tippets Road near Nesquehoning, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to make the most of the autumn color, while featuring the F’s classic ‘bull-dog’ nose and car body style construction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these photos while working with both of my Nikon Z-series mirrorless cameras. Kris made photos with her FujiFilm X-T4 mirrorless camera. Seamus-the-Dog took it all in from the back seat of the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the train passed we zipped off after it to make more images in the late afternoon light!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found it interesting that on the previous weekend we found fellow photographers at every bend to make photos of steam locomotive 2102, but on this day when photographing the F’s on exactly the same route, we only saw only other person making photos between Tippets Road and North Reading. This was especially remarkable considering the beautiful autumnal conditions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
